If You Seriously Want To Know Who Reverend Wright Is, I Would Suggest

[Uncle Joe]

viewing the full Bill Moyers interview of the man, if you only accept corporate media snippets taken out of context, it will be as looking at him through a carnival mirror.

I believe Bill Moyers on PBS to be the best overall journalist or interviewer out there with the most in depth knowledge of the human Psyche and the critical issues of the day.

If you generally watch something else tape it or Tivo it.

P.S. For what it's worth I don't believe Obama should be judged by Wright, but for those with a concern about Wright or wondering how to handle Republican criticism regarding him, I believe this could be helpful.

1. And Bill Moyers is also a minister. He will have an interesting interview no doubt.

[Frustratedlady]

4. I didn' t know that. Hmmm. Never too old to pick up new facts.

I truly enjoy his interviews. I hope it turns out well, as Obama doesn't need any more headaches.

I believe this is Hamas week. Sheesh!

[Bigleaf]

2. Wholeheartedly agree!

[leftofcool]

3. Back in the news is he?

Sounds like more fuel for the repuke slime machine to play with.

[Uncle Joe]

5. The more ignorant the people are, the more effective the fuel,

that's why I believe everyone that can should watch this.

9. Going on Moyers isn't generally seen as feeding RW material.

But I suppose that's a way to look at it. If the smear machine didn't have clips to take out of context, they'd just make something else up. So I wouldn't stress about Moyers getting to the truth about something that's been distorted beyond recognition.

15. Who needs the republicans?

What are primaries for, other than smashing and bashing your way to the nomination?

[Forkboy]

19. Watch it, get the facts, and fight the Repub attacks.

Or, keep doing their dirty work for them.

Choose one.

6. they don't want to know that he graduated head of his class,

was a Marine, helped save President Johnson's life, along with his community work and so much more

they prefer the racist lies and distortion

I expect it from the republicans, but from Democrats?

7. Wright should do more of these interviews.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. This airs tonight on our local PBS station and I will be watching.

I am very interested in hearing what Rev. Wright has to say in his own words and I'm certain that Bill Moyers will conduct a fair and informative interview with none of the "gotcha" questions and meaningless commentary that we hear from so many other sources.

10. Moyers has a lot of personal integrity. Let's see for ourselves what Rev. Wright

has to say.

[Uncle Joe]

11. I believe Reverend Wright will be fine. n/t

12. Hillfans won't watch until it's played on FOX news.

They're the only reliable news station after all. The Clintons and the Bushes both agree, FOX news is the only news station real Americans can trust!

[emilyg]

13. So I guess you won't watch

Obama on Fox?

[stillcool]

17. do you think Fox News..

will show the entire Bill Moyers interview? I have never watched Fox, and I never will.

[emilyg]

18. They'll show segments.

I watch all - like to know what they're up to.

[stillcool]

16. Those one or two excerpts..

will be just fine. If it's not useful for trash and bash, who can be bothered? Reverend Wright makes for such a good pinata.

[Uncle Joe]

14. Final kick for the night crowd. n/t

[Forkboy]

20. It was a great interview that his detractors need to watch and be honest about.

That's probably asking a lot, but hopefully they'll at least try.

21. Jeremiah Wright is a great man.
